Dear Guzzo-Allen Family:

We are truly sorry at the sudden loss of Tony. May the many wonderful memories you have of him carry you through this difficult time.
One such memory we have is during this past summer on the Allen's lakehome deck. While visiting, my lab Buster paid Tony a visit too. After taking a dip in the lake, Buster came on the deck just in time to shake wildly and soak Tony. Needless to say, Tony kept his good humor - they became fast friends.

The entire Guzzo family:

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Tony. He was such a wonderful and passionate man. There are so many great memories as a child, but most of all, I will always remember his 'million dollar smile' and how it lit up the room.

Although I wasn't able to make it to the funeral on Friday, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Take care. Love always, Tanya

Dearest Family:
I want to express our most sincere condolences. Tony was a "Grand Fella". I recall all of our Christmases spent together at Grandma & Grandpa Kartvedt's. All those family movies Tony was in charge of taking. These are the memories that I will look back on and smile! I'm glad I had the chance to see you all this past summer.(Even under the circumstances.) Tony looked wonderful, and I recall commenting about it to my family. He seemed timeless.
Much Love to you all dear cousins.
